Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of the three methods of decocting with deslag, decocting without deslag, and double decocting on the content of nine ingredients baicalin, baicalein, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rb1, monoammonium glycyrrhizinate hydrate, liquiritin, 6-gingerol, berberine hydrochloride, palmatine hydrochloride, and total flavonoids in Banxia Xiexin Decoction (BXD). Methods Nine index components were determined by HPLC. The HPLC analysis was performed on Welch Ultimate XB-C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphate aqueous solution for gradient elution; And carried out at column temperature of 28 ℃, volume flow of 0.9 mL/min, and detection wavelength of 203, 252, 280, and 355 nm. The total flavonoids were determined by colorimetry. Results Nine kinds of ingredients and total flavonoids could be detected in three different decoctions. In the method of decocting with deslag, baicalin, baicalein, ginsenoside Rb1, monoammonium glycyrrhizinate hydrate, and liquiritin increased by 10.01%, 12.88%, 29.09%, 16.75%, and 15.02%, respectively, compared with decocting without deslag; It decreased by 5.54%, 4.15%, 14.49%, 7.85%, and 9.18%, respectively compared with double decocting; Ginsenoside Re, 6-gingerol, berberine hydrochloride, and palmatine hydrochloride increased by 37.90%, 3.78%, 5.33%, and 5.99% compared with decocting without deslag, respectively; compared to the double decocting methods, it increased by 1.07%, 11.57%, 3.41%, and 1.93%. The total flavonoids increased 22.61% higher than decocting without deslag and 6.54% higher than double decocting. Conclusion: The results can effectively reflect the quality difference of different decocting methods. Among the three methods of decoction, the method of decocting without deslag has significantly improved the dissolution of the active ingredients of each component in the decoction, and improve the clinical efficacy of BXD to a certain extent. It provides a good experimental basis for the decocting without deslag method used in Zhang Zhongjing’s Treatise on Febrile Diseases.
